Sorry for the delay, but my excuse is that I’m covering for someone else. And although I realize that a pizzeria was just chosen last week, most of us weren’t able to attend. Plus I’ve heard nice things about this place, the original location of which is in Brooklyn. It’s also kid-friendly and although they don’t take reservations, I can’t find much evidence of long waits to be seated. But I’ll go over there a little early to make sure we’ll be OK. I’m up for Drunk Club too, but don’t have time to pick a spot just yet. But those of us attending can talk about that just beforehand. If you’d like to go, just let me know by 5pm tomorrow. Thanks!

Ok, turns out my pick was chosen in March of this past year– obviously I didn’t make it to that one!

So let’s try again:

When I think of what type of cuisine I want to go out for, I rarely think of Italian– it seems so ordinary somehow compared to all the other options. But that means I can’t think of the last time I’ve had really awesome Italian food anywhere other than Maggiano’s! (Which is fabulous and makes for the best leftovers ever.)

So join me at an Edison Park institution for some delicious, kid-friendly Italian food with a name that makes you want to just say it in a fake Italian accent.

I’ll make a reservation, so please let me know if you can join me by Friday at 12 pm.

This is a brand Mexican place that opened in my old hood. It used to be called Club Mambo and looked slightly sketchy but it looks like they’ve rebranded into a a trendy taqueria and I LOVE trendy taquerias. (Google is trying to tell me that taqueria is misspelled and making the recommendation that I type equestrian instead.)

I don’t know if they take reservations so let me know by tomorrow at 3 PM if you can make it so that I can call to arrange something!

This place is new and Colombian and near my house. They don’t appear to take reservations, though frankly, I’m not expecting much of a crowd anyway. But you should come. It’ll be fun. Please let me know on Thursday if you’d like to attend.

Also: Close to Begyle and Half Acre for possible pre- or post-RC drinking.

Okay, to avoid being too repetitive, and since it’s been less than a year since the last Saint Lou’s Assembly trip, I’ve decided to change the location. Same deal as before. I’ve made reservations for 10, so please RSVP by noon Thursday in case I need to change the number. Sorry for the confusion! I’m relatively new at this and generally incompetent at adulting.

Nothing cools you off quite like a steaming hot bowl of Thai curry, am I right? Join me for our almost-900th RC with this BYOB spot just off the highway in Sauganash that I’ve never been to, but seems to get a thumbs up from the surrounding community. I’ve made an ambitious reservation for 10 so please let me know Friday by 1pm if you’ll be able to make it or not.

I’ll also be bringing a few beers as well so feel free to mooch off me as needed. See you all there, cheers!
